| Interpret diagrams and graphs (including pie charts), and draw simple conclusions based on the shape of graphs and simple statistics for a single distribution. |
Interpret tables, graphs and diagrams for discrete and continuous data, relating summary statistics and findings to the questions being explored. |
Interpret graphs and diagrams and make inferences to support or cast doubt on initial conjectures; have a basic understanding of correlation. |
Analyse data to find patterns and exceptions, and try to explain anomalies; include social statistics such as index numbers, time series and survey data. |
Interpret and use cumulative frequency diagrams to solve problems. |
Use, interpret and compare histograms, including those with unequal class intervals. |

Appreciate that correlation is a measure of the strength of association between two variables; distinguish between positive, negative and zero correlation, using lines of best fit; appreciate that zero correlation does not necessarily imply 'no relationship' but merely 'no linear relationship'. |

|
| Compare two simple distributions using the range and one of the mode, median or mean. |
Compare two distributions using the range and one or more of the mode, median and mean. |
Compare two or more distributions and make inferences, using the shape of the distributions and appropriate statistics. |
|
Compare two or more distributions and make inferences, using the shape of the distributions and measures of average and spread, including median and quartiles. |
|
| Write a short report of a statistical enquiry, including appropriate diagrams, graphs and charts, using ICT as appropriate; justify the choice of presentation. |
Write about and discuss the results of a statistical enquiry using ICT as appropriate; justify the methods used.
Going for Gold Excel |
Review interpretations and results of a statistical enquiry on the basis of discussions; communicate these interpretations and results using selected tables, graphs and diagrams.
Bypass Excel
Reducing road accidents |
Examine critically the results of a statistical enquiry; justify choice of statistical representations and relate summarised data to the questions being explored. |
Recognise the limitations of any assumptions and the effects that varying the assumptions could have on the conclusions drawn from data analysis. |
